Product Description
Understanding anatomical structures is one thing. Knowing how to dissect them is another. More effectively than any other resource, this user-friendly manual demonstrates how to successfully dissect the trunk, head and neck, pelvis and perineum, and upper and lower extremities. Extensively class tested and reviewed, it is proven to reduce the time you spend in dissection...without skimping on the details that you need to know!
- Page references to Drake et al.: Gray's Anatomy for Students, Netter: Atlas of Human Anatomy, 4th Edition, and Moses et al.: Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy point you towards outstanding visual guidance on anatomical structure and function.
- STUDENT CONSULT access lets you browse through the complete contents of the book online...review cadaver dissection photographs before going into the lab...test your knowledge with review questions and answers...and follow "integration links" to related bonus material from Gray's Anatomy for Students, Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy, and other books.

 Great dissection guide for Medical School gross anatomy! August 30, 2008
Kate
This is a great book to have with you in the dissection lab for Gross Anatomy. It shows you very clearly how to cut your cadaver to see everything that you need to. I used this book for my Gross Anatomy course and was able to successfully dissect everything I needed to and did very well in my laboratory exams and in the course overall. It has drawings of everything you are looking for as you dissect, and is very well organized by body sections.
Despite what the previous poster said about explanations, I thought the explanations were very good for what you needed to know while in the lab. For example, muscles were explained based on where they connected and what they were innervated by, helping you to look for relivent nerves and origin points. But, understand that if you are dissecting, you should know more about the structures before you come into lab (trying to read this as you are dissecting won't help you much, but I doubt any one would in that circumstance).
This book is by no means the only book you'll need for Gross Anatomy if you are a medical student, but if you are a medical student (one that really wants to be a doctor, and a good one at that) you'll already know that. This book works very well in conjunction with Grey's Anatomy for Students as well as an atlas of your choice (Rohens and Netters are my personal favorites). That's how the authors of this book intend it to be used - they were my instructors at Medical School and that's how they told us to study.
If you need an anatomy atlas, I would suggest Netter's. If you need an anatomy book, buy Gray's. If you need a guide to help you as you are physically dissecting in a lab and are given a choice, buy this one!
 Not the best, but not bad January 8, 2008

Let me start by saying this is not the best book to pick if you want to learn anatomy - it is not meant to. This is, in my opinion, a companion book for Gray's or any other book, and it guides you through an authopsy not teaching you human anatomy.
It is rather good in that, but the fact that it doesn't explains things very much withdraw it a star, though I understand that if it did it would be much larger and not very practical.
I take it the other star because of its bad quality paper. I mean, how is that supposed to hold on an authopsy room, with all the water and blood? It should be printed on better paper.
This is not an essential book, but nice to know what you are doing when seeing your first authopsies. If you have the time to read it and have no other "not essential but nice" books in your list, buy it,
